1. Due to the resignation of Great Alemonia in response to a petition for their recall obtaining a quorum, Parliament must now appoint an interim Delegate.
2. Citing Chapter 5, Clause 10 of the Regional Code, "In the event the office of Delegate becomes vacant, Parliament must designate an Interim Delegate to assume the powers of Delegate until the election of a new Delegate can be completed."
Section 2: Appointment by Parliament
3. Through the passage or rejection of this proposal, Parliament shall hereby confirm or reject the appointment of [to be determined] as acting Delegate until the next lawful election can be held.
Considerations for Interim Delegate shall end at 6:30 PM EDT on Monday the 27th.
The Chair has heard the most support for Valturus to ascend to this role. The floor is open for approval of their nomination or for feasible alternatives.
Whomever the Chair feels receives the most support by the deadline shall be designated for confirmation pending their acceptance.
Since we're talking about things that we've heard, what of the fact that Valturus planned to take a leave of absence from the game? Wouldn't this position potentially impact him in a negative way when he was just beginning to work on recharging and taking a healthy break from the game? And what of the fact that this break was not solely about his well-being, but a pessimistic outlook on the region itself? Many people expected him to run for the delegacy in August and he surprised by opting not to do so. It is a known fact, including by many in this thread, that he did have the most positive opinion of this region when he decided against running. I would feel a lot better about considering him for this role if I felt these factors had been reconsidered or improved since they last came up.

I am completely fine with serving as Interim Delegate for the next few days, and I am open to running for the Delegacy in the special election. I think now that I am getting proper treatment when it comes to my mental health, as well as taking problems more serious, a complete break is less necessary than it was original. I will still be an active part of the community.
I have, generally, had a more pessimistic outlook on not only the region but a lot of things in my life. I doubt the vast majority of my pessimistic outlooks are entirely accurate, and I want to work on why I feel pessimistic and how to fix that. That includes both fixing my personal mindset, as well as working in a way which improves the areas of the region and my life which I feel do require some real improvement and could be done in a much better way.
I can't say that these factors have been resolved, in all honesty. I am working on them in the best ways that I know how and I hope to work with both online and real-life relationships that I have to continue improving myself, and situations which I feel need that improvement. It would be unfair of me to point out criticisms in the region, and the community, while not acting on how I feel they should be fixed. I hope to do my best and try to be a positive influence even if Parliament doesn't want me to serve as Interim Delegate, or even if I don't run for the special election. I think that is all I'm able to offer at the moment, the promise that I will try and do my best to be a positive influence within this region and community no matter what happens in both my online life and my personal life.
